-
- <a name="index-GDB_002fMI_002c-its-purpose"></a>
- <p><small>GDB/MI</small> is a line based machine oriented text interface to
- <small>GDB</small> and is activated by specifying using the
- <samp>--interpreter</samp> command line option (see <a href="Mode-Options.html#Mode-Options">Mode Options</a>). It
- is specifically intended to support the development of systems which
- use the debugger as just one small component of a larger system.
- </p>
- <p>This chapter is a specification of the <small>GDB/MI</small> interface. It is written
- in the form of a reference manual.
- </p>
- <p>Note that <small>GDB/MI</small> is still under construction, so some of the
- features described below are incomplete and subject to change
- (see <a href="GDB_002fMI-Development-and-Front-Ends.html#GDB_002fMI-Development-and-Front-Ends"><small>GDB/MI</small> Development and Front Ends</a>).

- <h3 class="unnumberedsec">Notation and Terminology</h3>
-
- <a name="index-notational-conventions_002c-for-GDB_002fMI"></a>
- <p>This chapter uses the following notation:
- </p>
- <ul>
- <li> <code>|</code> separates two alternatives.
-
- </li><li> <code>[ <var>something</var> ]</code> indicates that <var>something</var> is optional:
- it may or may not be given.
-
- </li><li> <code>( <var>group</var> )*</code> means that <var>group</var> inside the parentheses
- may repeat zero or more times.
-
- </li><li> <code>( <var>group</var> )+</code> means that <var>group</var> inside the parentheses
- may repeat one or more times.
-
- </li><li> <code>"<var>string</var>"</code> means a literal <var>string</var>.
- </li></ul>
